I was going to say you need to pull the drive from the NAS and connect it using a sata cable but then I noticed RAID, it always complicates things (I'll bite my tongue on that issue as it won't solve your problem). If it's still in the NAS you may need to pull the drive in order to get direct access, trying to recover files through a usb or ethernet connection doesn't give you the same hardware level access.
As silly as it sounds, I've seen Recuva recover files expensive programs couldn't.

I've always suspected Recuva is an NSA affiliated corporation, they know their stuff alrite.
If it's that important I'd try these guys

Thank you for the info, but looks like that service will cost very expensiveIf it works like most, that is just the scan and depending on what it finds, then you you get the fun of trying to sort though the things you trashed or revised, if some have the same file name and even figuring out if it's intact or can be rebuilt...
Trying to recover it and will close the thread once success, hopefully the software useful for others people later :thumb:
There's a reason data recovery is so expensive.

Not to mention the hardware costs for opening one up if necessary.
Thank you all,
I can recommend this powerful software for NAS - standard HDD should be works great too i think

License cost : $69.95(US)
around 200 GB files got recovered in ~17 hours :pShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/Jx2aPgk.png)

If it is NAS drive, I can suggest a software which I have used. I did not create any restore point, so when the data was lost I had no choice other than purchasing a NAS recovery tool.

I even tried using Recuva, but unfortunately it did not work for me.
I wonder how this compares to PhotoRec, in terms of recovery power (GUI vs CLI aside). I'll keep it in mind. Looks like the original filenames were intact which is a bonus.
Yeah Recuva not works for NAS, try ZAR if you need recover files later :thumb:
